Visualization for Transparency Foundation
We know the civil society needs to partner with the public sector — at every level — to revitalize the mandate for open access. We know we need transparency initiatives that rest on data visualization and contextualization of public data. We know we need better arguments to increase the resources directed towards open data and visualization. We know we need data-driven journalistic investigations and data activism initiatives to bolster social progress. To achieve this … We promote graphicacy and data literacy, to support evidence-based policymaking, and to prevent public misinformation. We develop tools to evaluate public policies using evidence, encouraging transparency. We consult on good practices in visualization and transparency for public administration, research institutes, and the media. … we support initiatives that favor informed citizen participation, journalistic investigations, and anti-corruption fight.
